Good luck OP

Ask what group you will be aligned with on day one and what exactly will your experience be with the DSG?

Generally nothing tax technical. If you have a work experience then we may ask you about technical items on your resume. If you said you worked on an M&A transaction we may ask what type of Reorg, what work you did, etc. If you are straight out of school we don’t expect you to have any real technical knowledge.

We will want to know Why EY, Why Tax, have you worked in group settings before - what was that like. Clearly anything on your resume is fair game to ask about. We may want to know if guy have any specific interests in different areas of tax. Questions like that. Good luck.

Just be prepared to talk about what you've done in your career so far. Like which tax disciplines have you had exposure to? From a behavioral standpoint, how do you manage workstreams from multiple managers? In a given day you might be reporting to a QS manager, a GCR manager, and an international manager. Not everything is done on months - long rotations in the DSG. So how will you manage the competing priorities?

Most likely prepare yourself for the partners bragging about how much cash they make and how great PA is.

After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
